Meat portion cutter PORTIO 3D

The MARELEC PORTIO combines state of the art technology for creating a high precision yet economic portion cutting machine. It is suited for fresh products such as tenderloin, striploin, rump, ham, schnitzel, etc. Following the product type, different product fixation systems are possible. Different knife types, suited to the product, can be used. A product is fed on the infeed belt. A three dimensional laser scanner then calculates its volume. A preset weight and shape frame is selected from the program menu. The portion computer then calculates where to cut. The highest possible throughput on the smallest possible footprint can be reached with the PORTIO 3D and its dual lanes. Each lane has its controller and the two lanes run completely independently from each other. For most meat applications, one camera on the top is not enough to scan the whole product. In order to get a perfect view of the bottom roundings, it's necessary to have two cameras extra on each side of the belt. Compared to the PORTIO 1D(A), the PORTIO 3D has got a wider belt of 300 mm, so it is able to cut products with dimensions up to 280 x 150 mm. All of this at the same capacity of up to 28 cuts per second. A catch weigher can optimise the precision with changing product characteristics. The machine can be completely opened for easy cleaning. The belts can be taken out for seperate cleaning. For maintenance, easy obtainable spare parts have been selected. This guarantees lowest possible maintenance costs. All motors and encoders are situated away from the wet area, which ensures a long lasting lifetime.
